Texas Production Query Tool – A Program for Royalty Owners, Petroleum Engineers, and Mineral Investigators

Warning:
The RRC has posted that they are shutting down certain parts of their website to the public from 8-11am on weekdays. This affects L337Tech’s Texas Production Query. If you have a RRC login then you can simply log on (using internet explorer) and the tool will function normally. Currently I have not felt the effects of this shut down but I am sure implementation is eminent. The tool should function normally outside of the shut down window.

Texas Production Query Tool is a tool designed for royalty owners, petroleum engineers, and anyone else attempting to investigate wells in Texas. This tool allows you to enter an api number or double click a well from the entire Texas active well index to pull up the production data and basic information about the well. The tool also provides direct links to well logs, completion information, arcgis map location, and well file documents. The tool can also pull pre-release production data for wells that are so new they have no lease number. The program figures out if this is the case and looks for the data in the appropriate place seamlessly. This tool is your one stop shop to find out everything about a well in Texas. Since the tool uses Excel as a front end, you can copy down all the api numbers of the wells on your farm or the wells in your investigation into an adjacent column to quickly have access to them again.

This tool was built and design by Senior Reservoir Engineer with many years in the business (me). This tool was originally built out of necessity to help me investigate certain wells that were very early in their life where data is hard to come by. No one gets data earlier than the state, which makes this tool so powerful since it taps into the data provided by the Texas RRC (rail road commission) web site.

The Texas active well index provided with this tool has all of the active wells in Texas provided in a sortable list. If you know your land is operated by “Chevron” and the county is “Panola” and the lease name starts with “Adams” then simply sort the list like that to find all the wells on your land. The Texas active well list will be updated once a month. Your purchase only guarantees you the list of the month you purchased, but you will be allowed 10 downloads so it is possible to re-download the application in a new month with an updated list. Once you run out of downloads you will need to re-purchase the application.

This program can also be used with tools like my Quick Decline program to estimate ultimate recoveries from wells and generate detailed economics with any interval cashflow and other economic output. Quick Decline is currently unavailable for purchase, but see the example in the demonstration video. Using Texas Production Query Tool and Quick Decline together can help land owners predict royalty payments and Petroleum Engineers predict economics on new projects.

A couple of quick notes about the available Texas well data. Production before 1993 is unavailable. Not all wells have well logs. Only wells completed after 2009 have detailed completion reports available by clicking the completion hyperlink within the program. For these wells you will need to look into the well files. Not all wells have well files (like recently completed well). For these wells use the well completion hyperlink. You maybe prompted about an error being produced for a specific well. This is likely due to production ending before 1993 or the well is too new and has no data. If this occurs the hyperlinks should be your best source of information. Typically production data trails the current date by two or three months depending on the well’s operator. This program does not allocate production back to the well level for lease id’s that have multiple wells. This program requires Office 2007 later (specifically Excel and Access) to be installed on the computer expected to run this application. The computer should also have around 2GB of RAM installed. You must also have an active connection to the internet.

By clicking the purchase button you understand the data limitations mentioned and program requirements above and are agreeing to these Term Of Service.

    The main purpose of this app is to allow users the ability to quickly find a suitable internet radio station for their enjoyment. The internet is constantly being filled with hundreds of new stations all the time so finding something decent to listen to can be a challenge. Internet radio uses icecast.org and SHOUTcast™ services to quickly search and filter through the thousands of stations on the web. Internet Radio also uses some neat custom preferences that allow the user to tailor their search to their needs.

    The user can search on an artists name, album, song, genre, or just about anything to help find what they need. The search looks through currently playing as well as station names and tags. This should allow you to narrow in on exactly what you are looking for. And if you just cant decide what you want, hit the SHOUTcast™ top stations button to see what other people enjoy the most.

    This app includes a custom player that displays station name, song name, and bitrate and current listener count. This player also includes a dashboard to keep you up to date on currently playing song name when you navigate over to another app. If you need a little extra quality and buffering ability then you can push the station to the native Palm streaming app with click of a button. Once you have determined which player you like, feel free to set that as your default in the preferences.

    By now you should have found a great station to listen to. If so add it to your ‘Favorites’ list. if you forget to, don’t worry, it should show up in your recently played list. If you found that one and only amazing station, go ahead and turn on the ‘Play last song on start up’ feature found in the preferences.

    Lets say you are somewhere out and about that has terrible cellphone reception. That is okay, just turn on the 2G filter in the preferences menu to help you find a lower quality station to play.

    If you have any issues such as problems or if you have any requests, please post them here in the forums or as a comment below. Please don’t post your issues in the app review. Most problems can easily be fixed once we have identified them. See below for a list of Q/A.

    ####### Help Section and FAQs #############

    Q) I can’t seem to get past the “Buffering” message. What can I do?

    A) There are a few things you can try so I will list them below:

  • Make sure you have a reliable data connection whether its 2G, 4G, or wifi.
  • Make sure the streams bitrate is lower than your data connections maximum download speed.
  • Double check that it is a working station by attempting to play it on your computer
  • Push it to Palm’s streaming player to see if it can handle the stream
  • Q) My search results are coming up empty while searching for icecast stations?

    A) icecast currently has much fewer stations than SHOUTcastâ„¢. Try being more general with your search. If all else fails type in a genre that you are interested in like “Top40” or “80s”.

    Q) Sometimes when I push the “Push to Palm Player” button the Palm Player says there was an error playing back the file. What can I do?

    A) This is a very interesting error and it seems to happen when you try and switch screens to fast. I have programed a slight delay that seems to work 99% of the time but I have found that if it is not working simply wait a brief moment and then press the “Push to Palm Player” button. Also some stations are on overloaded or slow servers so getting the stream from them can take longer than the typical station. It is important to note that if you switch your default player to the Palm Player then this is not an issue anymore.

    Q) Some streams do not display the current song or bitrate. What can I do?

    A) Some steams literally do not offer up their current song and bitrate so I cannot display it to you. Other times (escpecially with icecast streams) the stream does not meet certain standards so the information cannot be pulled out in the standard way. Please use the forums to note stations that have problems. Sometimes a workaround can be developed and other times they can’t.

    Q) Occasionally when I perform an icecast search I get back a bunch of crazy code, what happened?

    A) Some stations that use icecast are highly standardized. When my standard filtering alogorithm is performed on nonstandard stations it can return crazy results. Please use the forums to note stations that have problems. Sometimes a workaround can be developed and other times they can’t.

    Q) There are some features that I would like to see in the app. What is the best way to relay these to you?

    A) Using the forums on this site is the best way. You can leave a comment on this page but they can be easily overlooked.
